We celebrated the Solemnity of All Saints’ Day with a Mass at 10:30 a.m. It is a public holiday in France. On November 2, Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed, several moments of prayer have been proposed: Lauds at 9 am, Eucharistic adoration and confessions until 10 am, Mass for those whose funerals took place during the year (from November 2023 to October 2024) and for all the deceased at 10:30 am. A corner was set up in front of the altar to accommodate lights in memory of the deceased. Another time of prayer (None) followed by the blessing of the graves took place at the Holy Cross cemetery. This time was followed by a Mass between confreres of the Congregation of Holy Cross in the small chapel of the cemetery.
